Interesting…that’s the complete opposite of what I’ve read in another source. I might have to check that squirrel book out.

In fact, studies show that they do remember most of it. See http://marciabonta.wordpress.com/2003/01/01/natures-ultimate-bankers/ for a brief but comprehensive look at scatterhoarding behavior.

I read somewhere that squirrels bury lots of food but don’t remember where they put it. They start looking for food later when they are hungry and because they bury so much of it, they eventually find something.
